She ranted at “people who want to change history.”<\/p>\n
At the beginning of the conversation, Goldberg said that Gauff is the first American teen to win the US Open since Serena Williams did it in 1999.<\/p>\n
Sunny Hostin loves that the professional tennis player “twirled on her haters” respectfully and handled a lot of criticism with grace.<\/p>\n
In a clip of Gauff’s speech, she thanked the people who didn’t believe in her because they spurred her on and “poured gas” on her fire.<\/p>\n
The co-hosts also love that Gauff was respectful to those who came before her.<\/p>\n
When she got her $3 million check, she thanked Billy Jean King for having fought for equal pay.<\/p>\n

She’s fabulous on her own.”<\/p>\n That’s when Goldberg said what’s shocking to her is when she hears people say “we’re suprised.”<\/p>\n The comedian said: “Why are we surprised that the girl has been well-raised? Why are we surprised that she knows how to act in public? Is it us? Or is it her? Is it us who don’t know to act, who have forgotten how to be humble?”<\/p>\n Haines said not everyone knows how to act when they become a role model.<\/p>\n Goldberg added: “She is brilliant So, for all those other little girls out there, there’s a space for you. This is what I want to say to the people who keep wanting to move history and change history, you can’t stop the progress of history. History is doing what it’s doing and it’s invovling all of us.”<\/p>\n She continued: “And you can try to hide it but then you get lights like this young lady and you can’t do anything about it because she’s the greatest there is at the moment. That’s what I’m telling you.”<\/p>\n Goldberg definitely came ready to school viewers on her return.<\/p>\n
